Peggy Eubanks had been visiting the graveyard near Luxomni Baptist Church in Lilburn every day for about a week, even before she heard about recent vandalism there.
After hearing that a man had been arrested over the weekend for turning over headstones, Eubanks cruised through again Wednesday afternoon to make sure her father's fresh grave remained undisturbed.
Police had arrested Ezekiel Dejesus-Rodriguez, 24, early Saturday morning shortly after pulling him out from under a granite gravestone.
Lilburn police found him about 2:40 a.m. after answering a call about moaning and shouting in the area. They found him screaming "No!" in the graveyard, according to a police report.
Dejesus-Rodriguez lives on Tambec Terrace, about a five-minute walk from the graveyard, according to the report. He said he had been trapped for hours. His leg had been broken and he was going into shock, the report said.
Around him, nine other grave markers had been toppled. He admitted to police that he had been knocking over headstones, and that the last one fell on him. Police charged him with criminal damage to property after taking him to the hospital for treatment.
